Dallas Wings guard, Arike Ogunbowale, was the star of the show at the WNBA All-Star Game, leading Team WNBA to a 117-109 victory over Team USA with her stellar performance. Clinching the title of MVP of the game, Ogunbowale delivered an impressive show that won't be forgotten anytime soon.

Not only did she score a remarkable total of 34 points with six assists, outscoring all players from both sides, but she also set an amazing record from the three-point line, sinking eight out of her 13 attempts. Even more impressive, Arike amassed all of these points in the fever-pitch drama of the second half. Her 34-point finish sets a new record for the most points scored in an All-Star game.


Comprising the league's top talent, Team WNBA was made up of players who didn't get selected for the United States Olympic team for the Paris games. This perceived slight may have played a part in fueling the team's fiery performance on the court.
